A Portland massage therapist accused former Vice President Al Gore of "unwanted sexual contact" at a hotel during an October 2006 visit, but no charges were filed due to lack of evidence, law officials said last week. Today, Portland police officials say they will reopen the investigation.

Portland police announced today that it will re-open and investigate a Portland massage therapists allegations that former Vice President Al Gore sexually assaulted her at a downtown hotel in October 2006.

The announcement comes as the therapist went public for the first time, telling the National Enquirer that she demanded a full police investigation of her complaint.

Molly Hagerty is photographed in the latest edition of the National Enquirer, holding the black pants she wore that night. Shes quoted saying she paid for a DNA analysis of a stain on the pants. The paper also mentioned videotape footage from the Hotel Lucia, where the encounter occurred, and named a computer consultant who told the tabloid that Hagerty called her at about 4 a.m. Oct. 24, 2006, and told her immediately about details of the attack.

Portland police said last week they considered the case closed unless new evidence surfaced. Police did not explain their decision today.

"Consistent with our policy regarding open investigations, the Police Bureau will not be commenting on any additional specifics regarding this case at this time,'' Portland Det. Mary Wheat, bureau spokeswoman, said in a news release.

A Gore family spokeswoman released a statement disputing Hagertys account.

"The Gores cannot comment on every defamatory, misleading, and inaccurate story generated by tabloids," said the response issued by spokeswoman Kalee Kreider. "Mr. Gore unequivocally and emphatically denied this accusation when he first learned of its existence three years ago. He stands by that denial."

» Hear the police interview with the massage therapist Hagerty first filed a complaint through her attorney two months after the 2006 encounter, but then refused to meet with detectives on three occasions. Then in January 2009, she presented a detailed statement to Portland sexual assault investigators.

She told investigators that Gore groped her, kissed her and made unwanted sexual advances during a late-night massage session in a suite at the upscale Hotel Lucia. She said she told two friends and kept the clothes she wore that night, including her black pants with stains on them. But Portland police didnt contact any of the womans friends, obtain the potential evidence or interview anyone at the hotel, records show.

"The case was not investigated any further because detectives concluded there was insufficient evidence to support the allegations," the Portland Police Bureau said in a prepared statement last week.

The Oregonian generally does not name people who report sexual assaults, but is naming Hagerty because she has made her allegations public.

Today, the district attorneys office said it had no further comment, but stands by its statement issued last week. In that, Multnomah County District Attorney Michael Schrunk said: "If the complainant and the Portland Police Bureau wish to pursue the possibility of a criminal prosecution, additional investigation by the Bureau will be necessary and will be discussed with the Portland Police Bureau."

Look. If you want to see Gore get what is due him, always, always write "Al Gore, Partner Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers". If his partners are dragged into Gore's bad publicity, they will dump him and his climate fraud. That is Gore getting his due.

If she has panties to prove something, Im sure there was more then groping.
However premature ejaculation might have slowed the pig down somewhat.

But it won’t establish whether or not this pathetic frottage was consensual, which is the essence of whether or not a crime occurred. The pivot point will be consent.

The hour, the location, the profession, the long delayed formal complaint, the payment of over $500.00 for some kind of services rendered will all be rich material for a defense attorney (or a politically tainted investigator or DA) to find reasonable doubt or insufficiency of evidence.

The narrative may be credible, but factual determinations as to consent will hinge on the weight of verbal testimony, which is eminently subject to political . . . well, stroke.

Remember Paula Jones? She would have been shot down in flames but for the sheer volume of other complanants, notably Juanita Broddrick.

Thus far, this is a weak case even for a willing prosecutor, even with DNA evidence. Whether it goes any further or not, the CRAZED SEX POODLE may have gotten ‘fixed’ in public opinion, however.

If others come forward, then the case may have some traction.

I am inclined to believe the woman, but I don’t see proof beyond a reasonable doubt at this point.

During the massage,after asking Molly to massage his aductor muscles,he apparently threw Molly on the bed as she tried to get away, jumped on top and shagged her. Since he had a bath robe on, apparently he rubbed one off onto her pants as she lay under him, trying to get up. She bagged and tagged the pants.

"...the woman tells how Gore greeted her at the door of his room at the Hotel Lucia for the 11 p.m. appointment with a hug that "went on a bit long," then quipped "call me Al." Hotel staff had told the licensed therapist when booking her that the client was Al Gore, but that he was going under the name "Mr Stone."

Gore allegedly asked her to focus on his abdominal area and adductors -- the inner thigh muscles -- as well as his back and other areas.

While his lower body was covered with a sheet, she said, Gore "became vocal" with "muffled moans" and asked her to go lower, getting angry when she refused.

"It appeared he was demanding sexual favors or sexual behaviors," the woman said.

She then asked Gore to show her where he wanted to be massaged and he "grabbed my hand, shoved it down under the sheet to his ***** **** area, my fingers brushing against his ***** and firmly planted my hand on his pubic crest region and said to me 'There!' in a very sharp, loud, angry-sounding tone."

The woman told police she was caught in "a perfect storm" in a room with someone who was "Teflon-coated in terms of his credibility and celebrity status"..."

Police specifically responded to claims by the woman -- who said she remained clothed through the alleged encounter -- that she had noticed her black slacks had "stains" on them.

Police said they did not collect her attire because they believed it would not provide evidence.

At this point, the Police Bureau does not consider this an ongoing investigation unless new evidence is received in this case, Wednesday's police statement said.

CRAZED SEX POODLE will be in everyone’s mind from now on whenever they see or hear him. I really look forward to Paul Shanklin’s take on this. I want to hear a good impressionist do a robotic bellow of:

“RRRRRRRRRRReee LEASE! my . . . SECOND .. CHAK raaaaAAAGGHH!!!!”

We can expect to learn more about Ms. Hagerty in the weeks and months ahead as the media does their level best to destroy her.

We’ll know where the young lady went to school, what her grades were, every misdemeanor she even committed and a copy of her birth certificate before this is over. Her entire family and life history will be open to the scrunity of the “journalists” out there.

If you can, you might want to attach that same caption to the Gore photo. I would if I knew how. Then it could be posted on future algore “sex poodle” threads. It would be like algore wishing the story would go away.

Yep. Nevermind all the sealed records on BO. This private citizen will be dissected over and over.
